IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE

This blender is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and is not intended to be used for commercial purposes.

Do not leave your Vitamix blender unattended when operating.

Any repair, servicing, or the replacement of parts must be performed by Vitamix or an authorized service representative.

PARTS AND FEATURES

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT attempt to blend in the adapter without using the personal cup. The adapter is not intended to be used a blending container without the personal cup. There are cut outs in the adapter that will not allow liquid to be retained in the adapter if a cup is not used. If you have misplaced or need a replacement cup, contact Vitamix Customer Service to order a replacement.

DO NOT blend hot liquids in the adapter by itself or attempt to blend hot liquids in the 20 oz (0.6 L) personal cup.

20 ounce (0.6 L) Personal Cup (Dishwasher safe, DO NOT use in a microwave) Adapter The seal MUST be in place to avoid leaks during blending. (Dishwasher safe, DO NOT use in a microwave. DO NOT disassemble.) Vitamix Motor Base The adapter is for use on C and G Series Vitamix Motor Bases. Your machine might differ slightly from this illustration. Flip-Top Lid The seal MUST be in place to avoid leaks when using as a to-go cup. (Dishwasher safe, DO NOT use in a microwave)

Seals

Two seals are supplied with your purchase.

Refer to page 5 for more information about seals.

(Dishwasher safe. DO NOT use in a microwave)

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Seals

There are two seals supplied with your Personal Cup & Adapter. The seals are interchangeable and their uses are:

• During the blend - place a seal on the thread on the adapter.
• To travel - place a seal on the flip-top lid before attaching to the 20 ounce (0.6 L) personal cup.

The seals are used to avoid leaks and spills. If you experience leaking:

• Make sure the seal is in place on the adapter before attaching it to the personal cup.
- Thread the adapter onto the personal cup until it stops. Try to thread a little further to make sure it is tight.

Ingredients

• Cut ingredients into 1-inch pieces. DO NOT overfill.
• Cubed ice blends better than crushed ice.

- Add ingredients to the Personal Cup in the order they appear in the recipe, or follow the general guideline on page 6 when creating your own.

Operation

• When starting your machine, hold at a low speed (1 or 2) for a few seconds until you see the blades “grab” or begin to process the ingredients.
• Once ingredients begin circulating, increase to the speed recommended in the Vitamix recipe. Operating at a lower speed than suggested can cause the motor to overheat. Blend for the full processing time suggested in the recipe.

CAUTION

Moving Parts May Become Hot with Extended Use. DO NOT touch.

The parts are top rack dishwasher safe. The parts may become damaged if they are not washed on the top rack.
